The Rheumatologist that I saw did mention immediately that I have Raynauds but failed to mention causes, treatment or anything else. I've dealt with those symptoms my entire life, but the sudden drop in body temperature which also makes my body feel cold from head to feet, and causes this shivering sensation even if I'm buried under multiple blankets is very strange. Any ideas?

My Rheumatologist didn't act like it was a big deal and didn't talk about it. I was diagnosed actually years ago by a G.I. doctor when I mentioned to him about my hands and feet being so cold but my body was warm. He said I had Raynauds. That was it. I ignored it over the years, but, it was on my medical record. I will say, it has gotten worse since COVID last year. Sometimes my fingers and toes turn blue under the nail and feel like ice. It hurts my hands to pick up ice to put in a cup and I run warm water when I am filling ice glasses and put my hands under it because it is painful. Getting in a tub of hot water with epsom salt and putting my hands down in the water & feet will warm them up pretty quickly. I don't have a flare with this every day....it's off and on. Raynauds does tend to run along side of Systemic Lupus and several other autoimmune diseases. I have borderline Systemic Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, both thyroid diseases & long Covid. Praying you get some answers.
